Brilliant,

This review is from: Change Is Gonna Come (Audio CD)
I was walking pass by my TV when Soul Train was on and I heard her voice. It made me stop dead in my tracks and listen. I wasn't able to catch her name so I went online trying to find the line up for that weeks episode and due to me be lazy that means I must have really heard something magical in her voice. It is swamped in soul. The kind of voice that Aretha and Gladys have and it comes out of such a compact package! Her cover of "A Change is Gonna Come" almost runs close to Cooke's and in just that kind of comparison is something that many "artists" these days lack.

This review is from: Change Is Gonna Come (Audio CD)
I caught the appearance of Leela James on Soul Train a few weeks ago and had to have this disc. A nice varied album with rich, soulful vocals on most tracks. Songs range from mostly original traditional and modern soul to bluesy track or two, only a couple of clunkers --"Music" is rather petulant. The cover of the No Doubt pop tune is ok, but nothing special. A one star hit for the phony record noise on some tracks, Ms. James' voice is too good for silly gimmicks. Leela James is a super talent and I look forward to future releases.

The Change HAS come!,
By Dedicated (Plant Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Change Is Gonna Come (Audio CD)
Leela has strong lyrics, strong voice and dignified messages. She balances new and old very well. I see her less as a representation of "neo-soul" and more as a return to REAL R&B - a day when people didnt use computers hide their vocal flaws and rappers to hide their lack of charisma. Leela has everything necessary to keep you tuned in and grooved. The Change has come!
